 * A fellow WordPress user is defaming me on his blog … and sending me harassing
   emails. I’ve not responded in any way hoping that the crazy will die down if 
   left alone. But, I need to know if WordPress supports this kind of thing and 
   if WordPress will do the right thing and shut this guy down if her persists. 
   Bummer that for such an important issue there’s nobody I can call or contact 
   about this sensitive matter.

 * If this is about a site hosted on wordpress.com then you’re complaining in the
   wrong place, you need to visit wordpess.com support.
 * If it’s just a site that happens to be running WordPress, then you’re effectively
   talking to the people who provide a book that text is written in. Complain to
   the source, or whoever is hosting the site.
